ACP is advocating for legislation that covers more people; maintains and builds upon
existing requirements that insurers and Medicare cover essential benefits; lowers
deductibles; makes premiums more affordable; and preserves the existing federal commitment
to Medicaid.

Consolidating Medicare's quality reporting programs into a single program should make
reporting less cumbersome and complicated, but it can be extremely difficult to implement
a new system in practice.

A key feature of the meeting is the presentation of ACP's priorities for 2017-2018
by Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Darilyn V. Moyer, MD, FACP.
Members will have the opportunity to ask questions following Dr. Moyer's presentation.
